About Me

I am an old-fashioned American citizen who believes in our traditional values of freedom, truth, and justice. When I see our laws and government subverted and twisted into service of the undemocratic, powerful, corporate oligarchy, I must react with a patriotic defense of our values. I strongly oppose the ongoing destruction of what is left of American democracy and shall give voice to our common cause of freedom.

Remember when our "Decider" told us he looked into Putin's eyes and saw his soul? How could Bush ever have been mistaken? He was so certain about everything.

ISIL must really appreciate the Bush Administration's destruction of Iraq and disbanding of its army to add legions to their ranks.

TP,

Thanks for checking in.

Christian fundamentalists are very much embedded with the American Right.

It's no secret the American Right is rejecting diplomacy and is openly hostile to Iran. Their loyalty is more with Netanyahu and the Israeli Right than with our president. Their actions and words indicate this.

Their hatred for Obama is as fanatic as anything I've seen in our history. Many see him as the anti-Christ. They are frightened into this insanity by the American far Right propaganda machine.

ISIL is an enemy to everyone not in their cult. Iran and the US are both actively opposing them.

Don’t get me started on the US meddling in Middle East religious, ethnic and tribal conflicts.

Suffice it to note that Iran and the US are now both partners and antagonists in that mess.

While a Muslim theocracy, Iran’s Christians, traditionally ethnic Armenians and Assyrians, are able to practice their religion freely as long as they do not proselytize. Muslims converting to Christianity are quite another matter.

And we know Christians in Iraq were far better off under Saddam as well.

I hope you understand my point that Right wing political beliefs have been conflated and blended with religious beliefs.

Hell, after multiple attacks on the clearly flagged USS Liberty, the Israeli's killed more Americans than Iran ever has.

Would anyone want to compare what the US did to Iran as opposed to what they did to us? History doesn't paint us as the good guys installing the Shah as dictator. Authoritarians and the Oily Elites seem to have liked that for some reason.

There are plenty of hostile assholes in both Iran and the US. The world sees the ones in the US look like puppets of the Israeli far Right. And they are. But is Iran a threat? No.

Unlike the US, they don't make a habit of invading and bombing all over the world.

Yeah, being hostile is good policy, alright.

Hostility exported by the US to Vietnam, Lebanon, (Remember Reagan's barracks full of unarmed dead Marines?) Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and every other damn Mid-east tribal conflict is all great policy.

Just look at all that there freedom we been a-spreadin'. Look at how safer America is.

Now we're practically in cahoots with Iran against ISIL.

Thank your fearless decider Bush for creating them with his crusade in Iraq. ISIL is full of Sunni Iraqi military, fired by Bush's stooge.

Good policy. Yup.

And for the record, being hostile anywhere is stupid and sociopathic, in the jailhouse or White House.

Assholes are hostile. THEY fuck up the world. Some fools think Americans are exempt from being hostile assholes. But all they need to do is look in the mirror to see one.

1. The founder of Reuters purchased Iran in 18722. The BBC lent a hand to the CIA’s 1953 overthrow of Iran’s Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh3. We had extensive plans to use nuclear weapons in Iran4. We were cool with Saudi Arabia giving Saddam $5 billion to build nukes during the Iran-Iraq war5. U.S. leaders have repeatedly threatened to outright destroy Iran6. We shot down a civilian Iranian airliner — killing 290 people, including 66 children7. We worry about Iranian nukes because they would deter our own military strikes
